DNR - Proposed rules for small scale dredging

Public input opportunity
The department is announcing its intention to issue a statewide waterway general opermit (GP) for dredging of lakes and streams in Wisconsin. Once in place, the permit will be valid for five years and will allow applicants to apply for coverage under the permit to dredge up to 25 cubic yards from streams and inland lakes and up to 100 cubic yards from the Great Lakes if the project meets all eligibility criteria and conditions. The department is inviting written comments on the proposed general permit and has scheduled two public informational hearings.
